Lia.keybind

lia.keybind

The lia.keybind library allows developers to register key bindings along with associated callback functions for both key press and release events. It maps string-based key identifiers (using the predefined KeysData table) to their corresponding key codes and stores them alongside descriptions and callback functions. This makes it simple to add custom keybind functionality in your application.

NOTE: Make sure the key identifier passed to lia.keybind.add is either a valid string (case-insensitive) from the KeysData table or a valid key code. Incorrect key identifiers may result in the keybind not being registered.

lia.keybind.add

Description:
Registers a new keybind by associating a key with a description and callback functions. When the key is pressed or released, the corresponding callback function is executed.

Realm:

Shared

Parameters:

  • key (string or number): The key identifier (as a string matching an entry in the KeysData table) or the numeric key code.

  • desc (string): A description of what the keybind does.

  • callback (function): The function to call when the key is pressed.

  • releaseCallback (function, optional): The function to call when the key is released.

Usage Example: 

-- Register a keybind for the "F" key
lia.keybind.add("f", "Activate feature", function(ply)
    print("Feature activated!")
end, function(ply)
    print("Feature deactivated!")
end)
